Why is it that Ed O has grown as a HC since Ole Miss but Kiffin hasn't?

I see this all the time. I know people don't like kiffin but you have to think if anyone has grown as a HC coach, it's the guy who has spent a few years under Saban not the guy whose been under Miles.

kiffin has had 3 stops as a head coach and failed miserably at each one. he had a recruiting class at UT that 2 years later only had 3 guys still on campus. i know he has been touched by Saban so that does give him some superpowers but it's hard to ignore his prior failures.

Because O came in and salvaged the wreck that was USC that season after Kiffin shite the bed. All Kiffin's proven is that he can ride the curtails of greater men to success.

I just hate people completely ruling out the possibility that he may be a good coach now.
He isn't my first choice for sure but we could do worse

Coach O has admitted that he did not have near the back ground to be a HC in a major conference at that time in his life. He's stated that he "has grown" as a football coach since then & seriously felt he deserved the HC job at USCw. Kiffin may well have learned a lot of football under Saban, but he is still perceived as a clownish jerk as a person. Al Davis called him the biggest liar he had ever met.

Because Orgeron is currently the head coach of LSU, so people are being hopeful they are right that he's progressed. Kiffin is only a hypothetical, so no need not to properly vet and be more objective about past failures.
